Hope and majesty surround you
You are covered by impenetrable light
You stretch out the heavens like a curtain
And you separate the day from the night
...
May all the Peoples praise you
May all the world praise you
For great is your mercy and kindness
You dwell in the beauty of holiness
...
O give thanks to the Lord for He is good
And His mercy shall never end
When I cried to the Lord in my distress
I discovered a King and a friend
...
We are filled with the oil of gladness
It covers my brothers and I
For joy has overcome sadness
As the glory of God fills the sky
...
My heart is shredded, it lies in pieces
Think, I must think
Here comes the hammer, it cannot miss
The blow, and now I shrink
...
May you glorify your name O Lord
And may your glory cover the land
Let every idol fall from its place
And when your finished let none of them stand
...
We dwell in thee Oh God
As the fish dwells in the sea
We find our place in you
As a lock is to a key
...
The Book of Life was opened
And a name was written down
All of heaven stood and gazed
Not a movement, not a sound
...
Oh for the day that I join you in the sky
Oh for the day that my spirit's raised on high
Oh for the day that I walk this earth no more
Oh for the day that my spirit's set to soar
...
If I began to cry
The tears would never end
If I lowered my guard
Then how could I defend?
...
